Building a FOSS consumer company

Ente is an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos.

There are very few FOSS consumer apps in the world and Ente is one of them.

Built by a bunch of programmers, Ente's story has been different than that of most consumer startups.

This talk is about our journey - the frameworks we've followed and the mistakes we've made.

We will discuss the challenges involved in building a global consumer product from India and the open source principles that have driven Ente forward.

This conversation will be valuable for anyone who values digital privacy and for those thinking about starting or joining an open-source company.
